Description

A spherical region of initial radius 0.2 cm expands into a medium of much lower density, creating a blast wave. The overdensity factor is 100; the overpressure factor is 1.0e6. An ideal gas is assumed with a gamma of 5/3. The picture below shows the spatial distribution of density at an evolution time of 0.005 seconds.
